Vy, among four youngest contestants, walked away with VND 500 million (USD 24,000) in cash and gifts worth several hundreds of millions of VND, while Nga and An took home VND 200 million (USD 9,500) each.

She is 1.74 meters tall and measures 84-63-90. She has a modern beauty, well-suited to competition at international pageants. The 18-year-old girl was listed in the top 3 of the Miss Sea session at Miss Vietnam 2018.

Following this event, Vy will represent the country in the upcoming global competition Miss World 2018, which is scheduled to take place in December in China.

Bui Phuong Nga, who was born in the central province of Ha Tinh, and Nguyen Thi Thuy An from the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang were the first and second runners-up, respectively.

Nga, 20, was named in the top 3 of the Miss Sport and Miss Talent sessions. She is often complimented on her beautiful skin. Nga’s overly slim figure is seen as a minus point.

Miss Vietnam began in 1988 and has been organised every two years. The contest has encouraged many young women to demonstrate their talent in careers, charity and social activities./.
